Music Support Group

The Music support group is a wonderful collection of parents who meet each term to discuss the upcoming events, working out ways to help the music department. One of these is fundraising. If you would like to purchase a tote bag, please reach out to Elizabeth Toh on elizabethtoh@gmail.com.

If you would like to join the Music Support Group, even if just to help from the sidelines, or know what is going on, please scan the QR code below.
